Assemble salad on a deep platter (with lip/sides) or a large salad bowl. In a separate bowl, combine dressing ingredients, whisking well to combine. Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine. Allow salad to marinate in dressing for no less than 30 minutes, at room temperature, and/or up to 2 hours, refrigerated. Garnish with chopped basil and pecans, and serve.
